Hi everyone - Phil here - I will take your AMA questions (Hun is busy coding....!)
[15:00:26] Phil Zamani:
Before we start...in case there are too many questions at once - i will answer the more interesting ones and not answer repeat questions - i will answer all questions but perhaps later if we run out of time - ok?

Hello Phil! Tell us what actions you are going to take to develop the open source community :)

Phil Zamani
I am fine everyone !
Hi, Phil A few days ago I read your article in which did you draw parallels between Linux and Blockchain. Linux systems are mostly free, would you like to give us a little Aergo today for free? :grin: Just kidding. :wink:
My question. In your article you wrote that you are building a blockchain system that follows the open-source characteristics. But open source significantly reduces development costs. Why do you need $30 million? 🤔 Given that you already have a working business - the company Blocko.
[15:02:11] Amusing Clown:
Are you going to spread Aergo vision in live meetings in eastern Europe: Russia, Ukraine, Serbia, Romania and others?
[15:02:13] Nury:
Phil Zamani
I am fine everyone !
Glad for you, I like how you explaining things, so even dumb ones can understand.
You great teacher, keep it up!

How do you see your relaitionships with Blocko in future? .. like Father to Son or equal partners?
[15:02:42] Sandro:
Hi. How many Bps will be set at the start? As consensus is DPoS that’s mean that most of the inhome parametres should be set by holders via voting system. How often will be voting held? Can you explain this part of Aergo more extensively?
[15:02:53] Van 3:
Hello Phil Zamani, what's the ticker for the Aergo token ?
[15:02:55] Ann Si:
Phil Zamani
I am fine everyone !
my first question))
I am sure that among the funds there were many who wanted to become your partners, by what criterion did you make your choice?

Hello, Phil. Several times in whitepaper I met the concept of "best block". could you explain what it is. thank you
[15:03:18] John B:
In case of fast growing and good performance is it possible that Aergo will be asquaired by tech giant like IBM, Microsoft Azure and others? What will happen to holders in this scenario?

Good question -all major open source development projects need to be incubated - free developers are not enough - we will prime the platform with the money raised
[15:03:48] John B:
What are your plans for pushing your product to new markets like USA, Canada, Europe? Have you already sign some agreements? Of course I don't ask to disclose exact names, just yes/no.

As I understand AERGO project declares that its ecosystem will have features similar to GitHub. What was the problem to use GitHub? As we see, many IT giants use it and do not build their own platforms
[15:04:13] Phil Zamani:

Ok. Also, in your article you wrote that Blocko has deployed over 23 commercialized blockchain systems. And who else has deployed many of blockchain systems? IBM? How much more? 🤔 I thought about it after that my funny artwork where I compared AERGO and IBM in this chat has been deleted. :grin:
[15:04:23] Alf1972 Alf:
Phil, You are working on your technology at manufacturing and telecommunications companies, how effective will it be in other areas?
[15:04:48] Basov Maxim:
A distinctive feature of the Aergo project is that you can integrate some changes in your blockchain without any hard forks, which is something that is not found in other projects. Can you tell me how you will do this?
[15:05:06] Boris Britva:
Hello, i have several qustions.
- What projects in crypto area are most valuable in your opinion? Which of them are you going to partner with? What aspects of Aergo can be strengthened by them?
2.On last AMA you mentioned that Aergo has hybrid blockchain, is it possible to change our private blockchain on Aergo to public at anytime and switch it back later?
[15:05:12] Serge K:
Hi Phil!
Allow me to also take this opportunity to thank you for the crystal clear explanation of open-source and the parallel to blockchain, as described in your article and in different interviews…it has opened my mind! Thanks! My questions would be:
Q1: What do you foresee as being the major entry barriers/bottlenecks in the implementation of Aergo’s blockchain solutions at enterprise level at this moment?
Q2: It is my understanding that Aergo will focus its marketing efforts towards business clients at the enterprise level. Are you also interested in bringing awareness/exposure for the project at retail customer level…for example by means of regional marketing/advertising partners?
[15:05:18] Phil Zamani:
AM
How do you see your relaitionships with Blocko in future? .. like Father to Son or equal partners?
Think lInux and Red hat....Linux= Aergo (open source platform) and Blocko = Red Hat (enterprise global support)
[15:06:00] Sandro:
How will you determine the charge from small businesses and huge corporations for using Aergo solution, will it differ to them?
Don’t you think that it can be a great marketing move to allow some big enterprises to start use Aergo for free just to make a boom in mass media and push this news to masses?
[15:06:06] Maria:
Phil Zamani
Good question -all major open source development projects need to be incubated - free developers are not enough - we will prime...
Reasonable answer, And what are the ways you wish to use to prime the platform?

Hi Sandro - this is a good but difficult question for me to answer - we will share more info on the whole token economics in due course as well a s the voting and safeguard mechanisms we will implement
[15:06:29] Boris Britva:
Have you already got specifications to become Aergo node? What benefits will node take from the ecosystem?
[15:06:33] Evgeniy:
hi Phil, just want to say your reward program is perfect, I believe it will build a strong community, I know that - have big exp in this cases!
[15:07:12] Alfiia Melenteva:
Dear Phil, How many users of your technology without server computing do you expect?
[15:07:16] Phil Zamani:

Simple - they all needed to show us they can add value to the project - so far we are very happy with mostly of the investors - others will help later
[15:07:31] Aleksandr:
Hi, Phil. What limitations in scalability do you see at the moment in the architecture of Aergo?
[15:08:04] Phil Zamani:
Dmitrii
Hello, Phil. Several times in whitepaper I met the concept of "best block". could you explain what it is. thank you
Best block is the best block - sometimes the system may have a Race or conflict condition so we are building a dependency analysis capability to select the best block
[15:08:07] Jakub:
Hallo, Phil, tell us in more detail what the structure of the project team itself looks like. Do you have a separate staff or team members working simultaneously on coinstek and aergo?
[15:08:28] Victoria:
Q1. Would there be a mechanism to reduce the impact of volatility on Aergo tokens?
Q2. Would there be vesting period to lock some of Aergo's tokens? If yes, what would be the period of time for vesting the reserved tokens, tokens for advisors & board leaders and also the ones given as private & public sale bonuses?
[15:09:14] Phil Zamani:
John B
In case of fast growing and good performance is it possible that Aergo will be asquaired by tech giant like IBM, Microsoft Azure...
We are not interested in being taken over - we have a long term vision and will do everything to make this happen...Aergo...distributed trust at scale...we are very happy for these players to be part of our tech and delivery ecosystem and own our tokens (but not the company!)
[15:09:17] plohha:
Hi, Phil. I work as developer and we use GitLab to store and deploy our projects in test env. We use its built-in tools for CI (Continious Integration) including piplines, containerized test environments, containerized review apps. Will AERGO hub have similar features for test development? Or it only will work as repository service + stress testing features?
[15:09:42] Samme:
Hi Phil what is the use case of aergo token? I know one is to pay for services within the ecosystem but people talk about staking, how can we the holders stake tokens???
[15:09:44] GL Tel:
Hi Phil, - Are you planning to implement your distributed cloud computing product primarily for large corporate clients or for a simple user at the same time?
[15:10:09] Dmitrii:
Are you planning to build an ecosystem and push companies to do dapps on your platform? Maybe there are already the first agreements? What applications do you focus most on?

We are already working with leading companies to educate them in what Aergo can do - no specific industry as we are working on deployable use cases first - primary markets a re Korea, china, Uk, Germany and then USA (but we are also talking to companies in other regions as well)
[15:12:46] Victoria:
What will be the total number of Aergo tokens, the maximum units of Aergo for token sale and the price per Aergo token?

[15:19:07] Maria:
Are Blocko customers supposed to implement Aergo blockchain solutions? And at what time limits do you think this can happen?
[15:19:28] Basov Maxim:
Phil, tell me which companies can use your platform or which sectors will you focus on: banking, engineering or fuel industry?
[15:19:29] Phil Zamani:
Sandro
How will you determine the charge from small businesses and huge corporations for using Aergo solution, will it differ to them?
Are you working for us already - how do you know this??? :-)
[15:19:48] Alex:
Hello Phill)
Our community would like to know more about you. I had the idea to create a beautiful creative summary of your background in the form of a poster or infographic. But I need reliable information. Can I get it from you or your team in any way?
[15:20:27] Phil Zamani:
Maria
Reasonable answer, And what are the ways you wish to use to prime the platform?
- Blocko will underpin the networks 2. Find serious partners for the startup phase (real enterprise hosting capabilities and scale/security built in)
femiuri
What’s your background?
Pls look at LinkedIn (almost all true!!)

Many are also interested in the issue of listing the project. Tell me, from the funds that you have already collected, do you plan to allocate a part to take care of the leading exchanges? )) (from the top 10)
[15:22:05] Phil Zamani:
Boris Britva
Have you already got specifications to become Aergo node? What benefits will node take from the ecosystem?
We are finalising the detailed spec for block / node providers - they get rewarded via transaction fees and get top vote on the tech stack and ecosystem over time
How AERGO platform works in a nutshell:
The various stages of input that all users (administrators, developers, clients, and core team) have to pass through within the AERGO system in order to achieve their intended output.
[15:22:34] Dmitri Larikov:
Hello Phil! Are there any changes in Aergo's Github from the last AMA?
Last time you said that AergoSQL smart-contract will be added soon.
[15:22:39] Isinoptic:
Phil, How big will be the Foundation of old developments regarding your new technology in the final product?
[15:22:45] Phil Zamani:
Thank you - Igor - Alison and Obaid designed this (I guess I wont fire them after all!)
[15:22:59] Leonid LEO83:
Phil Zamani
Coinstack is a product that is available and works today (private chains)...+25 deployments and many milllions of users...see it
Why spend AERGO tokens in the Coinstack blockchain?
What are the incentives or practical uses for this?
Owners of tokens AERGO, can spend them in Coinstack?
Is it on the blockchain AERGO. will not every possible use to use tokens?
Can you give an example of how a company that connected to a new subchain on AERGO, but decided to spend tokens on the Coinstack blockchain?
This is possible and what is the use of this action?
Thanks!)

I'm sorry if I repeat question, in the future you plan to use other programming languages or only AergoSQL?
[15:24:14] Timofey Bagnetov:
Hi Phil, I watch 80% of the questions come from a Russian audience. Maybe you should open an office in Russia?))) But seriously, your project is very much like stratis, I can even say that Aergio is a stratis from Korea. how do you plan to compete with them?
[15:24:23] Phil Zamani:
Alfiia Melenteva
Dear Phil, How many users of your technology without server computing do you expect?
We are not sure but many - as most developers will start on the public net and only move to serverless when the systems get adopted by large ecosystems and large clients - that is also very good for us as we want a very large community in our public net

From what we've seen with ICO's launching over the past 12 months, devs will rarely be open about this topic. On one hand they might be seen as shilling, on the other the exchanges might not want to be mentioned because of p&d
[15:27:24] Enidlareg:
Are there new dAPP tools invented by AERGO for developers to work with?
[15:27:36] Phil Zamani:
Aleksandr
Hi, Phil. What limitations in scalability do you see at the moment in the architecture of Aergo?
Very good question - I don’t know ! - but here is what you need to know about scalability - it depends on a mixture of things private, public chain interaction, plasma bridges, underlying network topology, network/computer/disk latency and overall system design / when you here xxx has a TPS of 1billion per second its like saying you have a jet engine in a car...if the tyres blow out at 100km/h - what’s the point!...Aergo’s architecture in theory provides infinite scalability - now we need to build this stage by stage
[15:28:27] smak9:
Hello, Phil! :-) We've made a voice over for your article "Drawing a parallel between Block chain and Linux" (timing - 45 minutes) 🎙 with a studio quality. Where should we post it, so that everyone who didn't read it yet, could listen to it? As it is not allowed to post audio and links here, I wonder where to post such works?

Yep yep understood and i agree. Each exchange seems to have connotations attached so sometimes its a double edged sword. When binance now = when dump. When kucoin = when graveyard. But I'm sure core team has an enterprise and legacy hive mindset, and trading of the coin will be integral. We'll just see in time which exchanges and when

Hi,
Is it too late to write an article about Aergo? Been in this group a while and been following Aergo now a while, but lately i've been busy and missed some announcements. I'm afraid that if i write an article now, it will not get enough views for it to be valuable for the TDE.
Is there value in the content in generell or do you value views more than that?
Thanks
[15:39:37] Phil Zamani:

Hi, Phil, how soon do you plan to integrate Aergo into a real business, when we can see a real example of using Aergo?
We have a number of projects being specified now - nothing will be made public until our magnet is out and fully tested - so if you want o see first external use cases - early next year - if you want to I see real use cases - in a few months (via our partner Blocko!)

Hi,

Phil, I have a question for you as an expert in the open source field. As the users of open source projects can donate money and the foundations can distribute it in a fair way, how would be the transfer of value between the open source producers and the open source consumers implemented? What kind of links (unidirectional or indirect) will AERGO use?
[15:40:15] snorlx hash:
Phil Zamani
It’s company and deployment independent - thinks of AWS - it works for developers, startups, sMBs and large enterprise clients...
Phil I'm still trying to get my head around how to undestand what Aergo is aiming for. Is it a protocol/platform/interoperable project? Or is it bigger that has its own language and can potentially form the spine and interactive layers (oracles) to host a decentralized web?
From the little i do understand you guys are focused on enterprise and adoption, but damn it's massive
[15:40:21] Phil Zamani:

[15:44:48] plohha:
Phil, in one of your last interviews you tried to draw an analogy between RedHat=>Linux and your project. But maybe RedHat success rests on a wide number of Linux ecosystem developers and this ecosystem was not built by RedHat. And there are many other Linux-based projects. Don't you think that it is some kind of a presumptuous claim?

I must commend high level of uniqueness in the use case of this project. It is one of the best I've seen around. It only shows that this team understand the cryptocurrency and blockchain technology very well.
a) How does this project intend to make available to the people the knowledge to design dapps
b) In what way is AERGO project any different from the usual blockchain projects
c) How do u relate the current level of deficiencies of the existing blockchain platforms and the mission of this project.
d) And lastly What is the motivation behind this project.

Look at this at other angle, you can buy tokens now, when you don't need computing power (for example) and use it later, and get computing power cheaper than market. It is like buying computing power futures. Besides I am sure prices for services won't be fixed, but will adjust accordingly to token price.

I did say no word about community wanting high token price. Imagine you are provider - you can set prices for you services in token equivalent of USD - so it will be stable in usd but differ in token - I don't see any problems here? No? Problem may be in transaction fees like in Eth, if they are set and non chageble or price for smart contract deploy. But i see it as features of blockchain economy not threats. Self governing game theory.
